Do Re Mi

Do you remember "The Sound of Music" movie?  Of course you do!!  Who doesn't know that movie, right???

Well, recall the "Do Re Mi" scene....you know the one.  The song actually opens with these words: "Let's start at the very beginning/It's a very fine place to start".  I can't recall exactly how the scene evolves into the singing of this very infamous song, but I'm sure it had something to do with Julie Andrews discussing the kids singing; perhaps the build up to the performance during which they escape from the Nazis. 

Why on earth am I bringing this up?  Well, those are apt words for me right now.  You see, I haven't been really sure how to dive back into blogging. 

Do I just start blogging about daily homeschooling life around here, pretend 2 years hasn't gone by???  Act as if you know all that we've been up to???

So I thought a good place to start would be, well, at the "very beginning".  The Do Re Mi, so to speak, of our homeschooling life.

Rest assured, Friends, I'm not about to roll into the old "I was born in a log cabin...." type of thing.  I'm not talking about THAT beginning.

The beginning I mean is sort of the roots, the foundation of us.  The Nuts and Bolts.

The Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of our homeschooling family and life.

Seems like the perfect place to start, don't you think?  I do.  And I think Julie Andrews would approve too.

Well, Hello There

That will teach me. 

Note to self.....after a LONG hiatus from blogging, do NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT mess with the template of your blog as the first task you tackle.  WHEW.

Leave well enough alone and just tackle blogging again.  That alone is a hurdle, a large hurdle, to jump over. 

But I am an over-achiever when it comes to things like this, and I thought, well, let's just freshen things up a bit.  Mistake.  Big mistake.  That was not the reason I left blogging a couple of years ago.  And that is not the reason that I am taking this up again.  But I did it....it's about an hour that I can never get back though.  Ugh.

So here it goes....blogging. 

We'll see how this goes.

I hope you are well.  Welcome back to me and welcome back to you.

P.S.  Would love feedback on the new look.  Don't be afraid....tell me like it is.  You won't hurt my feelings.  Maybe.
